Christopher Brodeur, 28, faces two felony counts of filing false documents with the Department of Elections, two felony counts of putting the name of another person on a nomination petition and two felony counts of submission of false nomination papers, the district attorney's office said.

Brodeur worked on the District Seven campaign for candidate Bob Squeri. Squeri came in fifth in the race among nine candidates, receiving just 4.9 percent of the votes. Norman Yee won the race.

According to court documents, Squeri appointed Brodeur as an "authorized person" in the campaign's dealings with the Department of Elections, though Brodeur's LinkedIn profile lists his position as campaign manager.

Prosecutors said he submitted nomination papers with two falsified signatures from District Seven voters and other false information.

"Our democratic process is sacred and anything that interferes with its legitimacy is a violation of the public trust," said District Attorney George Gascón. "Undermining this process erodes the validity of candidates and the electoral system as a whole."

According to Brodeur's LinkedIn profile, the San Francisco State alumnus also interned for Supervisor Mark Farrell for four months.

He faces up to six years and four months in prison if convicted. Brodeur is being held on $140,000 bail.
